Nice to see support for our schools. I recognize the Santa Ana School District but none of the others. Where are the other school districts?
Where are these schools located? Really would like to know.
Congratulations to everyone and to California Casualty. Thank you.
It’s so great to see music and the other arts represented in such an extensive awards program. Terrific job CalCas!
